Does this immobilize your shoulder or can you still have normal activity with it?

It confines you and slips alot. Not worth the purchase. Mine sits in the bathroom cabinet not getting used.

It's a little difficult moving around due to the wand not having total rotation mobility. I would suggest not purchasing this item if you have shoulder problems.

Both shoulders. It doesn't immobilize the shoulder joint but supports it as you move. Some physical therapists use the taping method to give you the same results but, of course, adhesive tape only lasts for so long and needs to reapplied. It should be used for support during your healing time and once you have relief slowly start strengthening those muscles again. This support band needs to fit snugly without causing chafing so be aware thatthis brand's sizes run on the small side of normal. Good Luck !!

It is adjustable to a certain extent. You can adjust the waist strap and the straps that goes over your shoulders. Overall this is a good buy. I bought it for back pain, but since I have chronic back pain, it isnt effective for my condition. I hope this helps.

Never did it but it should work. Worked well for me with a shoulder injury.

Both shoulder AND upper arm may be difficult at the same time. There is an elastic band with Velcro that u wrap around and attach to hold pad close to the body. However, it is very short so wrapping both at same time may not be possible.

No, it is really a good investment. Stays very pliable and easy to form around your knee, shoulder, arm or where you may need it.

I would say that it does. The material in that area would tend to compress the area and support it. My issue was more with my rotator cuff, but it supports the whole shoulder area pretty well. The neoprene allows for a good range of motion. I use it during martial arts training.

If it is just how to use it, I sit with the back of the chair against the door and bend my elbows in front of me. I then raise each arm not over extending the uppward motion. Start slow. Do not re-injur your shoulder. I used heat on my shoulder before and after. Your physical therapist should be able to give you advise for your needs if this foes not help. Always check with your Dr before doing anything new.

I have used it on planes (high back) and when sitting on the couch (low back). It does not immobilize your head as it is stuffed similar to a firm plush toy. It allows you to lean your head slightly to one side or the other while gaining support on that side's shoulder. Your head remains upright when sitting upright, if you slumped forward the pillow will not work. The head is gently "cradled" by the two wings and the chin is supported (not firmly propped up) by the "J" aspect. It does not use the back of the chair for support, rather your shoulder is the prop. Hope this helps

It would depend on the shape you are in and your goal. I just had shoulder surgery and do oscillations of about 5" for 60 seconds.

There wasn't really a trick . i just read the directions. However I must warn you to be careful operating when fully extended. Very hard to manage fully extended without straining the shoulder. I had the harness to relieve some of the tension, what a piece of crap.

Well I would think you could remove it while on your shoulders. I have nerve tried that but don't see why not. Great thing is if you purchase from Amazon its no problem to return if your not satisfied.

I have shoulder length and works for me. I love it and I can tell when I forget to use it. Trying it is worth a shot!

Yes, it can be used on your shoulder. But I wouldn't recommend the product, unless you are just in extreme pain & don't mind dropping $30+ for short-term relief. I tried 2 different ones; 1 lasted 3 days, the other less than 1 day.

It's very protective in keeping the shoulder stabilized and is a visual sign for those approaching to use caution.The support does an excellent job in securing the shoulder, but remain alert. There are people who ignore all the signs and plunged found right into the top of the shoulder brace.
